Representation ID: 63490
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Friends of the Earth
Representation Summary:
-In the specific site allocations, the Revised Development Strategy include the requirement for 'Homes for Older People: Adequate provision, close to local facilities should be made for Extra Care Homes'. It should be noted that the majority of older people do not in fact require care provision. The most popular form of housing is usually 'Category 2' sheltered apartments. The most successful retirement schemes are the ones closest to town centres and it is generally accepted that suburban and edge-of-town sites are not usually appropriate locations for retirement housing.
